Long-Term Outcomes of Patients with Staple Line Leaks Following Sleeve Gastrectomy.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThe long-term outcomes of patients with staple line leaks (SLL) after SG are under-reported. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term outcomes of patients with SLL after SG. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective analysis of a maintained patient registry of patients undergoing SG between January 2012 and December 2020 in a single bariatric center was analyzed and included patients with SLL. Outcomes were compared to a group without SLL.
resultsDuring this period, 1985 patients underwent SG of which 61 patients (3.1%) developed leak. 26 patients (1.3%) had overt SLL and the rest had organ space infection around the staple line. The mean age and body mass index (BMI) were 39.8 ± 11.3 and 41.5 ± 4.7, respectively. 7 patients (11.4%) underwent concomitant surgery and 12 patients (19.7%) had intraoperative complications. Leak was complicated by Clavien-Dindo ≥ 3 in 31 patients (50.8%). Reoperation rate was 27.8% (n = 17). ≥ 2 interventions were required in 26% of patients (n = 16). Two patients died during hospitalization due to septic complications. Long-term follow-up of median 121 months was available in 78% of the cohort (n = 48). The median total weight loss and BMI were 27% and 30.1 kg/m
conclusionLong-term outcomes of SG patients with SLL are satisfactory in terms of weight loss, resolution of comorbidities, and requirement for surgical revision.
